What is a node and how do I set one up on my computer ?
A node is a computer that is connected to the Helium blockchain network and helps to maintain the network.
It is responsible for validating transactions, creating new blocks, and propagating information across the network. Setting up a node on your computer requires downloading the Helium Core software from the official website. Once downloaded, you will need to configure your node with a wallet address and an identity.
You will also need to configure your node with a static IP address so that it can be identified by other nodes on the network. Finally, you will need to open ports on your router so that other nodes can connect to your node. Once all of these steps are completed, you will be able to start running your node and participating in the Helium blockchain network.
